Chapter 16 Score Editor 491

In the Event List, notes and sustain pedal markings are listed as MIDI events, most other

symbols and text objects as Meta events. Global symbols, global text elements, time,

and key signature changes are not listed in the Event List. Symbols which are attached

to notes (accents, note heads and so on), are not listed as events in the Event List, but

are saved with the notes they belong to.

MIDI Channel and Velocity of Inserted Objects

The MIDI channel and velocity of objects inserted with the mouse, are determined by

the Insert Defaults settings in the Event Parameter box. These Insert Defaults are visible

(and can be edited), when no object is selected. Click anywhere in the background of

the working area to display this status.

Make sure that “Insert Defaults” is displayed in the top line of the Event Parameter box.

When inserting events into a staff which uses a Polyphonic Score Style (see “Editing

Single-Staff Polyphonic Styles” on page 541), only MIDI channels corresponding to one

of the voices can be used.

Many symbols besides notes (all Meta Events), have a MIDI channel in the Event List.

Some of them even have a velocity parameter. These parameters vary in the Event

Parameter box: for most objects, the MIDI channel results in a Staff parameter, which

for Polyphonic Score Styles determines to which staff (theoretically up to 16), the

symbol belongs. BE CAREFUL: if this parameter is set to a number higher than the

number of staves in the Score Style, the symbol will become invisible.

Insert Quantization

To make positioning of notes and symbols easier, objects can only be inserted at

certain bar positions:

• There is an invisible grid for positioning of notes. You can imagine its resolution as if

the whole bar—beginning at beat one—were filled with notes of the chosen value.

An example: in an empty 4/4 measure, half notes can only be inserted on one and

three, eighth note triplets only on the first, second, or third eighth note triplet of

every beat.

• In addition, all binary and dotted values can be inserted at any position of an

automatically displayed rest. This means that if there is an eighth note on one, you

can insert a quarter or a dotted quarter note at the second eighth’s position. (In this

case Interpretation has to be turned off in the Display Parameter box, to allow the

eighth note rest on the “and” of beat one to be displayed). The Syncopation setting

will determine how the inserted note in this example is displayed.
